chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 1:56 pm I picked this up cheap on ebay... couldn't resist the woodgrain colour. Grade? Report this Post to the Staff

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 2:54 pm I didn't even notice the doubling on the first 3 letters of egalite until this pic. What is that? Report this Post to the Staff
delaner Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 8:26 pm THAT is beautiful! What a wonderful design! Without being familiar with the series, it looks VF - XF to me. Great eye, chequer! And the doubling is neat! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 8:33 pm I see the doubling too...but I cannot tell if it's a doubled/retooled die or something else. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 5:43 pm Looks like a solid XF to me. These coins can be tricky to grade, because the design is generally not very high in relief. Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 5:49 pm You're right. I had it at EF, but there is such little sign of wear in hand... it is difficult with the relief on these French coins. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 7:12 pm Generally the high points to look at are the top tip of the hat and points of leaves right below, the leaves over the headband, the hair detail above the eyebrow and the middle portion of the vine (to the left of the cheek). I think even a conservative grader can agree on XF. Report this Post to the Staff
Jay Kristofferson Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 6:32 pm Shelf Doubling rather than Hub doubling. Or .... maybe recut letters? Report this Post to the Staff
